5.0 out of 5 stars Working-class epic romance, 6 Sep 2003
By Maria Álvarez Folgado "alfaris5" (castellar del valles, barcelona Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Catherine Cookson - The Fifteen Streets [DVD] [1989] (DVD)
I feel I can't praise enough this wonderful film based on a novel by Catherine Cookson (which I have not read). The setting in the poor, bleak working-class neighbourhood of Fifteen Streets, in turn-of-the-century Newcastle, is wonderfully good, but especially, the acting is superb (do they all really speak that way?). The conflicts that these characters live through in the story change them forever, and you actually can see this in the expression on their faces, from hopeful to hopeless, and in the inflection of their voices. This is really ACTING at its best. After watching the film we are left with a feeling of respect for these hard workers and their families, who get over misery and bad times thanks to their sense of dignity and (in the case of the main character -who is NOT Sean Bean-) love. Not to miss, even if you are not a romance buff (which I am not).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story, great characters!, 17 Jan 2001
By A Customer
I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST OF CATERINE COOKSON'S STORY'S. OWEN TEAL IS GREAT AS JOHN HE BRINGS THE CHARACTER TO LIFE. YOU CARE ABOUT THEM YOU GET ANGRY AT THEM AND YOU LOVE THEM.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, 19 Dec 2004
By Tarewith (London) - See all my reviews
I was really disappointed by this film. After reading the rave reviews elsewhere I thought it would be gripping, but found the characters like 'cardboard cutouts' rather than any great role development taking place. Was some footage cut somewhere? The only great acting came from Sean Bean (as the moody, troublesome brother who's always looking for a fight), but his part isn't that big, so if you're a Bean fan I would suggest buying a different Bean film.
